"I'd be more comfortable if you acted like your usual everyday self."

"I see... so you can't calmly talk to onee-chan huh?"

Sensei looks dissatisfied with what I have said, but I can't help it because what she is saying is quite unreasonable. In the first place, I'm not really sensei's younger brother; I'm just a stranger to her, so it's really puzzling to me why she's acting like my older sister.

Also, I'm sure if I don't clear this situation sooner or later, I will be spoiled by her.

"Well... I'm sure you're going to get used to it eventually. After all, I've been in charge of some of your classes this year, so we have many opportunities to meet up with each other, so you will get used to it quickly."

"Se... sensei. Have you forgotten the rules that we made?"

"I haven't forgotten it; inside the school, we are just a teacher and student, right? That's why I had to suppress my desire to say something to Yamazaki, and I didn't pay attention to what the students in Group B were doing to you. As a teacher, I can't overlook what was happening in that situation, but..."

I'm sure sensei couldn't do anything because other people were going to see it, but I'm sure that if I hadn't handled that situation myself, sensei would have definitely intervened. If that happened, sensei would be in trouble, so I guess it's a blessing in disguise that sensei held herself back and didn't intervene in that situation.

"They're provoking you without any reason at all... I should have at least warned them once, but I realize that you were trying your best to solve it on your own, which is why I didn't intervene."

"As I thought, sensei was worried about me."

"Yes... no... no... it's not that. Please don't look so apologetic... I was just getting worried on my own, but I put up with it."

I don't think this is a normal conversation between a teacher and a student.

I decided on the rules that we will have to follow, and even now I think that we should follow them, but right now, there's a part of me that honestly feels happy about our current situation right now.

However, even if sensei tells me those kinds of things, "being spoiled by sensei" isn't still an option.

I just wanted to respond to Yamazaki's provocation earlier so that I could rattle the enemy team a bit. In short, it's my own fault that I had sprained my legs, and that's why I can't ask sensei for her help.

"Did you think that I wouldn't help you?"

"Yeah."

"It's natural for teachers to help their students, and it's also more natural to worry about someone who is injured."

"But, sensei, you still have your next class."

I knew that even if I said another excuse, it wouldn't work on sensei.

Sensei smiles, and then she lends me her shoulder to lean on. At that moment, my full attention is focused on sensei's ribs—no, her chest, which are elastic enough to force the zipper of her jersey to open up, as they are hitting me.

"Let me take you to the infirmary. Also, from now on, I'll be closely watching you from behind so that I could lend you my support at any time, okay?"

"Uhmmm... if you do that, we will stand out, and it'll be quite embarassing for me."

"Fufufu... that's right, so you should be honest with yourself and let sensei help you. You know it's always so hard to convince you, but you should rely on onee-chan a bit more."

When sensei said that, while making a face full of satisfaction, it was hard for me to argue back to her. And seriously, from now on, sensei will closely monitor me during PE class... I guess I'll have to be more careful so that misunderstanding doesn't occur.

As I was thinking about that, I staggered and lost my footing, but fortunately I immediately held on to the sensei's body, which is why I didn't fall down.

"I'm sorry, sensei."

"Uhmmm... Umihara. Even though onee-chan says that you can rely on her, this is still a bit troubling for me."

"Huh?"

I don't know where I'm touching sensei... but when I lost my balance, it seems that my hand that was grabbing sensei's back went in front of her and I grabbed something in front of her body.

"(Woah!)"

Up until now, I didn't realize that I was grabbing parts of sensei's body that I shouldn't touch.

"Hey, hey, it's getting hard to walk, so it's time to put your hands off."

"Ye... yes. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

When I released my hands from sensei's body using my will of steel, I started to lose my balance; fortunately, sensei supported me before I fell down. But this time again, I'm touching sensei in a place I shouldn't touch, but because of our current position right now, I couldn't remove my hands from it.

"Your hands are bigger than I thought. Is it possible that you can hold a basketball with one hand?"

I guess it's bad to compare it to a basketball, but sensei's bust was too big for one hand. Sensei then puts my hand, which still has the soft feeling from before, around her waist, as if there's no problem with me touching her there.

After a short while, my hand slips around the curve of sensei's thin waist. Sensei then suddenly stopped and looked at me with a troubled face.

"Se... sensei, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but how should I put it? I feel that you're holding back too much; I think it would be better if you grabbed me tighter."

"Yeah, yes, is this okay now?"

I put my hands around sensei's waist and grabbed her jersey. Even though we haven't even taken a step yet, I feel really sorry for sensei as I took too long to decide on the position in which I would put my hands on her waist. This time I need to remember not to hold back, as it's best not to get hurt any further.

"It's okay if you touch around that area. Well, come to think of it, if we're this close to each other,..."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I smell like sweat, right?"

"No, you're not. The truth is, I was thinking I'm the one who smells like sweat, but... it's still the second period, so I wonder if it's still okay."

"I don't mind it at all. Actually, you smell really good."

"I... is that so? Then I guess that's fine... but please next time don't say things like you smell good all of a sudden."

If we continue talking to each other, we will never reach the infirmary. That's why I made up my mind, and with the firm support of Kishikawa-sensei, I walked carefully, so I'm not going to stagger around.

On our way to the infirmary, sensei puts her hand on her chest. She still seems to be worried about the part where I grabbed her... I might have hurt her when I did that, next time I have to be careful not to hurt sensei.
